Good question 62vette. Nothing would surprise me, but I haven't heard anything specific about President's Day specials from GM yet. I'll ask around and see if anyone knows anything. It definitely wouldn't hurt to wait to see if they do anything. It's not like you're risking missing out on an offer in the middle of the month.

Currently the deal is $1999 down and $299 per month + Tax. We chose to put $0 down so the payment is higher but I don't like putting much money down on a lease. It does feel like the Out of Pocket is high even though it includes the first months payment.

Can you tell me if this deal looks good or should we be able to get a better deal?

laurie9973, This could never be a good deal. GMC only provide a 36 month/36K new car warranty. So you would be responsible for any failures no longer under warranty for the last 3 months of this lease. Have your dealer reduce the lease term to 36 months or lease a car from a manufacturer that covers the entire lease term. Hope this helps.

laurie9973, Car man should know if a 36 month lease has the same money factor as a 39. Regardless, it is just bad when a major manufacturer burdens a lessee with potential repair costs on a car that is not their asset. Its a pity because the offers on these cars make for a really shrewd lease at this time. My 2 cents. Good luck!

I've leased a number of vehicles for 39 months, some with protection and some without and I've never had a problem. Perhaps it's because if the vehicle was a real dud the major problems would have happened in the beginning while it was still under warranty, but 39,000 to 48,750 (depending upon whether you do 12K or 15K for the allowance) is not really enough for the vehicle to begin falling apart. You're right, theoretically it is possible for a vehicle to have a problem in that coverage gap that one would have to pay to repair out of their own pocket...I just don't see it happen very often.

I'm a gambler, I'll go the extra three months sans coverage for another $20 per month off on the payment .

Car man never advocates a cash down payment on a lease. Your monthly payment would go up to about $509/mo. Edmunds.com True Market Value says you should be able to get $2,117 off MSRP on this vehicle and this dealer is only offering $1,300 off. If you can get this additional discount you should be able to get the payment down to $485/mo with no down payment. (Just first month's and title).

If you are interested in a vehicle like the Ford Explorer they have much better offers this month.

Hello, was wondering if anyone could answer some questions on a lease for 2013 Acadia. Right now my current quote from my local dealer in San Antonio, Texas is 3,000 (ttl) upfront525 security deposit1st months payment dueThen a monthly payment of $462This seems like a lot upfront to my husband

Also another question, we leased a trailblazer in 2006 and turned in 2009. Our new lease was declined til we submit a balance that was owed from that lease to gmac of $1000.00. They said once its pd they will approve new lease. Is that a tactic to get the balance due or would that really happen?

Hi dkm7498. The selling price that you were quoted isn't bad...probably less than $1,000 over invoice. It's great that the dealer is subtracting the cash incentives from that, though GM just introduced another $500 to $1,000 op top of the two grand that you mentioned in March (it varies by region).

As peperboy helpfully mentioned, I definitely always advise consumers against making capitalized cost reductions on leased vehicles. You'd be better off doing with a zero down lease, just making the first payment at signing and rolling all of the fees into the cap cost.

We're going to be in the market for an SLT Acadia over the next 3 months in the NY/CT region, but really don't need it until early July. Is near the end of the month in June, right around 4th of July, going to be the likely best time to get a good lease deal (looking for 36/39 month lease).

Assuming we want the AWD Acadia SLT with NAV system but without sunroof (if we can de-couple), what would be an expectation of monthly lease cost, assuming 730+ credit.

MSRP: $49.675Cap Cost: $48111 - $5000 rebate = $43,111Residual: 58% ($20,555.20) Term 36 months MF .00040down payment = $0 (amount due at start is $655.00) Payment = $484 Also traded in month car had 7 payment left. They bought out car and gave me check for 1000.00Was quoted about the same price from 2 other dealers and was about same on trade in. This dealer was only one that had denali with no chrome wheels or upcharge for paint color.Very happy with my deal. Based on edmunds true car I think I did well.Lmk

would suggest emailing a few dealers first and comparison shopping. in my experience, in this day and age, if a dealer or internet sales rep is unwilling to give any starting quote on email, they are not worth visiting. But i guess this may work better in a highly competitive and saturated market like southern california than say markets where there are only a few dealers in the state.

Hi danyc1. It's difficult to say what General Motors incentives will be like several months down the road. I suspect that the end of June will be a good time to get a new vehicle, but you never know.

If you provide me with the full MSRP and dealer invoice price of the exact Acadia that you're interested in, along with how long you want to lease it for and what mileage allowance you need I can work up a payment for you. You can find this data in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.

We are looking at the SLT1 with AWD and the base navigation package ($795) and all 3 rows of all weather floor mats ($225). Invoice price is $41,484 and MSRP is $43,695. We are looking for a 3 year (or 39 mo) lease with a 12k per yr limit. I understand that guessing the incentives is the great unknown, but a ballpark pricing would be much appreciated. Also, would you recommend dealing with the Internet sales team or going in and negotiating the traditional way.
